Sold Her Old Shakespeare to Buy Bacon's

A man who goes out good deal in society
and then comes back to his club to retail
what he saw and heard tells me this:

pretty and addle-headed girl who knows
more about the gush of the seaside than she
does of everyday things. Her father and
we're talking about this 'cryptogram' of
lgnatius Donnelly, by which he proves, to
himself at least, that Bacon wrote Shaks-
peare. The young lady thought it was
good time to go on parade and did 1t by re-
marking that she had that day sold her old
Shakespeare and had written to q bookseller
to send her the new one by Bacon. And yet
the lightning skips this home every time it
comes around"

did he dance? You had better be-
lieve he did. He jigged and shutfled and
flung his legs around like a-well, not
like dancing master, for he had never
done so undignitied thing as to dance
before in his life, but rather like a calf
stung by million hornets. When the
boys got tired they put up their pistols
and walked away and he got off with his
train. He was madden than a man who

he's dressing to catch train; but,
pshaw they didn't mean nothing. The

try"
And, in truth, if there is any force in
iteration, and any strength in unanimitv,
we must believe that the cowboys char
acter has been much belied, for all the
people who live in the cowboy country
say the same thing. "Thev have been
outrageously misrepresented in the East
ern newspapers, said the Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt, who is himself what is called
"cow-man' or ranch-owner, in talking
OF these people to me. The cowboys
are the natural police of the grazing
country. Some of the truest, bravest,
finest men in all that concerns manhood
that L have ever seen are cowboys. The
murders and deeds of violence ascribed
to them are mainly the acts of DULLES,
gamblers, adventures and lawless char
acters of all sorts who used to infest the
plains but are being rapidly run out of
the country by the cowboys"
But it is my purpose to tell in this
letter what | heard told of the COWBOYS,
giving it for what it is worth, and being
by the fact that all who spoke
to me of these dashing cavalrymen of
the ranges were their friends and agreed
with what Mr.. Roosevelt further said
that sometimes when they come to
town after a long absence from civiliza-
lion and with money they have been
longing to spend, they occasionally drink
4 little too much, and become hilarious,
but it is to be remembered that in most of
he little settlements they meet with the
only means of diversion are apt to be

Now, to show you how the cowboys re-

me add that they hung that drunken

The Death of the Author of John Hall
fax, Gentleman
A dispatch from London announces the
death of Dinah Maria Mulock, the authoress
She was born at Stoke-upon-Trent Stafford
shire, England, in 1926. Her father, who
had been a clergyman, died, leaving widow,
daughter, and two sons to struggle along
on small annuity. Mrs. Mulock died be-
fore the children were fully grown, and the
annuity perishing with her, the responsible
lty of earning such living for herself and
brothers that she might keep them with her
devolved upon the daughter. She tried litera-
ture and succeeded, publisher accepting her
irststory and paying well for it. With her pen
she provided for and educated her brothers,
one OF whom, as soon as he had completed
his education, went to South America where
he died, while the younger was accidentally
killed soon after he became able to share her
burden. Miss Mulock found in her literary
work relieffrom the sadness of her position.
and applied herself diligently and with in
cressed success to the writing of stories Her
first novel, The Ogilvies," appeared in 1S49,
and was followed a year later by Olive"
the latter making permanent the fame OBJ
talneQ Dy the former. Alice LearmOnt'
and The Head of the Family" appeared in
1851, and in 1852 "Agatha's Husband" was
welcomed by readers who were glad to well
come each of her succeeding novels and to
note that each was an improvement upon its
predecessor.
Miss Mulock reached the zenith of her
power in 1857, when John Halifax, Gentle
man." appeared, a story which is univer-
sally conceded to be her masterpiece. Among
other novels she wrote were "a Life for a
Life" Christians Mistake" 1.-TWO Mar
riages" and "a Noble Life and among
writings of another kind were collections of
fugitive papers, several books for young peo-
pie, volume of poems and other works
In 1865 Miss Mulock married Captain
George Lille Craik, an officer in the En-
glish army, and their married life, although
the husband was some years the junior Of
his wife was happy. Oflate years She lived
in the vicinity of Richmond. Miss Mulock
never permitted her name to be affixed to .
her productions, and John Halifax" was
claimed by Mrs Granville Whyte, but, in !
letter to gentleman of New York, Miss |
Mulock acknowledged the authorship of |
that novel and of the preceding volumes.

The cowboy sense of humor seems to be
keenly developed, and nothing excIss it
so quickly as an artificial or pretentious
manner in man. The cowboy who
had observed this popularity in the bar
tender awaited his chance and entered
the saloon when no one else was in it.
The bartender at once leaned over in his
favorite attitude and asked what it
would be-"
''Move an inch and you are a dead
man, said the cowboy instantly leveling
his pistol at the bartender. II like your
pose and want to print picture of you
on the wall"
With that marvellous accuracy of
craftsmanship born of constant practice
with pistols, which is one of the charac-
teristics of these centaurs of the West,
the cowboy began shooting with great
rapidity, first with one revolver and then
with another, and another, in such way
as to outline the entire upper half. of the
bartender's form with bullets that lit

Whatever was in the way of the bullets
was shattered, including mirror, several

scratched. The next day the same cow

IT DON'T INTERFERE.

How the French Wine Producers Got Over
the Failure of Their Vineyards.
1t must not be supposed that the French
have allowed the failure of their VINEYARDS
to interfere with the expectation of French
wines. Far from it. The wine product of
1886, as compared with the average of the
ten years 1865 has fallen off little over
one-haf The expectations, however, re-
manned quite steady down to 1884, and dur
ing the past three years have only fallen off
slightly-that is, from 1908 to 2,7O9 hectoli-
tres. The demand of the world for French
wines was. in fact, met by the transportation
of Spanish and Italian wines. for the delecta-
ton of connoisseurs in England and Ger
many who could never be induced to touch
them if they knew where they came from.
In 1886 France imported II, 900 hectolitres of
wine and exported 2, 709. The loss in capital
through the destruction of the vineyards is
estimated at $3.50, 000, 900, but this has in part
been made up by the conversion of Spanish
Italian wines into '.sound, wholesome
clarets' for foreign use.-EzchGsge.
